Fort THE SUN. TO THE CHRISTIAN ADVOc GEORGE D'OYEny. THE REVEREND REVEREND SIR,—As yon have the honour to held in the University of Cambridge the distin guished situation of CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, I trust I shall stand excused if I address you on a subject which moat parriculady fills within the line of your duty, and which, therefore, has a paramonot claim on your immediate attention.— To you, Sir, as Christian Advocate, is delegated tlte important charge of protecting our N4tional Religion against the attacks of those impious and daring Sectaries, who, either by open violence or secret malevolence, attempt to subvert it, and also of assisting the efforts of those whose talents and learning are employed in its defence. A duty more dianified and sacred than this cannot Lie imagined, nor can a higher honour be con ferred on a man than thus to constipate him the Guardian and Advocate of those "i'ruths, on the purity of which depeml our hopes of salvation.— On you, Sir, that honour has beers conferred ; you have been selected by the Learned and Re seven! Body of which you are a Member, to be the Champion of the Church of England, td vin dicate her cause., to maintain her doctrines, and to a•sist, by your powerful aid, the pious ef forts of those who, however humble their skim , Lion and pretensions may be, are embarked in the same cause with yourself. To you, Sit, I there fore confidently appeal on an occasion which pe culiarly demands your attention, and calls upon you for the exertion of that powerful influence with which you have been infested. I appeal to you on the behalf of a most meritorious and (ie . Vow ioditidual, Mr. Jona BELLAMY, whose nn impeached character, Hebrew learning; and nni fornl zeAl for the interests of Religion, entitle him not only to general respect; but to the pro tection and support of all those who are capable of appreciating such qualities. This Gentleman, after dedicating thirty yeah Of his life to the intrily of the Hebrew language, may, at least, he suppozied to understand it ; and having issued Pro posals for a new Ttauskiion or the Old Testa ment, he has lately commenced the fulfilment of his engagement, by the pnblication of the Book of GaNzsts. 6hould this valuable Work have fallen tinder your eye, there cannot be a doubt of its having rebeived front you that tribute of ap probation to which it is so jiFoly entitled, or that you would hesitate to add the sanction of your flame tci that already conferred on it by those ii- • lnstriotss atid respectable persons tinder whose patronage it has beets published. Nothing less can he looked • for from the Christian Advocate, the Defender of Orthodoxy, the Chaplain of the .Archhishop of Canterbury; titles, Sir, which you, better than any one, can estimate at their just value, and which, accordingly as the duties at tached to them ate wot dully or unworthily ful filled, entitle hint who bears them to honour or to contempt. This original and learned Work, the avowed object of which is to overturn the false doctrines of Sectaries and Unbelievers, has, however, within these few days, been assailed lions a quarter Irons which, if any faith may be reposed on the professions of men, such an assault was least to lie expected, from This Quar terly Review, a Vetiodical Journal tvhich seemed to profess to support the Establised Church. An enemy never makes an attack to so much advau sage as tinder the disguise of an auonymoits friend ; against an open toe, precautions may be used, but against the specious, the sniffing, the concealed, the professing assassin, who Can be safe ? It is against an assassin of this base and revolting description that I presume to implore ybnr power fill aid. I call on you to stand for ward in your public capacity, in Support of this Meritorious person, against a most sharnefol and illiberal libel, calculated not only to affect his re• pOtation as a scholar, but to blast his character and roils. his interests as a mats, to alienate his friends, and to deprive Dins of the high patronage with which his useful laboms have beet) honour ed. As the immediate consequence of Mr. Bel latny's new version of the Holy Scriptures Must be the overthrow of those Socinhtn, Unitarian, and Atheistical principles which disgrace onr sge and nation, the natural inference to be drawn from the appearance of this malevolent public's tiots certainly is, that it conies froth those most likely to be affected by Mr. Bellatny's success. But it must not be concealed from you, that a strong, and apparently well-founded report pre vails, that not in this quarter, but in the bosons of our own Church is this base assassin to be found ; that the dagger thus directed in the dark tloi and fancied security of anonymous publica tion is wielded by the hand of a Reverend rival, the Editor of a new edition of the received version of the Scriptures, now in the course of publication, AV hose credit, and what perhaps he May yet is (ire sensibly feel, whose profits must materially be affected, should Mr. Bellamy's version be found deserviog of general approbation. That such a renegado, such a %volt iu sheep's cloallting, should be discovered in the Assembly of our Christian Pastors is what no one can credit, and the bare suspicion of which you, Sir, above all others, will. undoubtedly be the first to repel with frecoming abhorrence and disdain. But, while you, com mon with all good and honourable men, entertain these laudable sentiments, it more especially be hoves you, as Christian Advocate, and one high in the Confidence of our respectable metropolitan, to investigate the troth of n report which so sen sibly affects the credit of our Church Establish ment. To be apprized of its existence most with you operate as a sufficient motive to follow it up to ;t source. Your dutyituperionsly calls on you to drag this Cactus from his den, to h o ld hi m t op to pel►Jic opprobrium, and to approve yourself, nut only in name, but in dced, the Christian Ad riv%4. in the tuil confidence that you will do this with clue zeal and effect, I have the honour to subscribe myself, Reverend Sir, Your obedient servant, G. M. *** Having resolved to open our Columns to the Advocates for the pure faith of our Orthodox Church Eitablishment, with which our Political Constitution is vitally united, we readily insert the above letter, but we take this opportunity of avowing our conviction that The Quarterly Rea view is a work to .vhich the country is deeply in debted for its vigorous and eloquent defence of those principles which are best calculated to sup port the safety of the State.—En. LONDON JOURNALS. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) [Morning Herald.] THF. QUEEN. " Kciu, Eight o'Cloi h. Oct. 6. " Her MAJESTY did not sleep so well last night as she has done latterly, and in consequence Sir Francis Mi!man did not retire from the ante chamber till nearly three o'clock this morning, at which time her Alajesty was IlittCll mote at ease, Soon after eight o'clock Sir Fraud* visited the chamber of his Royal Patient. " Towards noon, all the symptoms of her com plaint again came on, as they do almost inva riably at the same time every day ; •biit neverihe less her Majesty was still able to hear the remov,,tl . into her boudoir, about noon, and 'at.five o'clock to partake, slightly, of her usual repast. " The Pi incesses took advantkge of the bean-z , tiful morning, and enjoyed a long;walk among th'e. distant and sequestered parts of the royal domain; anti passed an hour or two in the further direction of their improvements on the lawn. Their Royal Highnesses were attended tt3 usual by General Taylor. " At two o'clock, Sir Henry Halford returned front attendance on the Princess Sophia, at Wind sor Castle, and fpnutl his colleague, Sir Francis very,tniich itiklisposed ; so much so, that he was tunable ic-join the dinner party at the table of their Royal Highliisses the Princesses. " The Prince Regent did not reach the. Palace, this evening s till•aix o'clock ; nor did he remain so long as usual, but having made a hasty visit to her Majesty,' and conversed A few minutes with - Sir, Henry Halton!, his Royal Highness returned to Carlton House. " The visitor 3 at the Palace were not so nu. numerous to-day as they have been heretofore ; whoop., those who did call were the Countess of Cardigan; Miss Best, and the Misses Disbrow. " Sir Henry flitiford and Mr. Braude remain in attendance. Sir Francis Mittman remained very unwell at seven o'clock." [The Times.] THE CONGIa EIS. " MX-LA.(II,II%ILE, Oct. 3, Sir o'Clock, p.nt. " I use the utmost possible dispatch in inform ing you, that the most iniportaiit business of the Congress ,is already terminated. Yesterday at Noon, and at the end of the Fifth Conference, the Evacuation of France by the Allied Troops was agreed upon. Count.Cartsman, the Ambassador—Of France at Vienna, whose departure fur Paris wit Is dispatches I last night mentioned In a letter-(which you may not, probably, by this time have receiv ed,) seas the bearer tit this important and pleas ing intelligence to his Sovereign. Though I heard the news at an early hour this morning, I could not obtain any details, or even learn the founda tion on which it rested, until now ; and was un willing to agitate the English public by vague rumours. The shortness of the tithe may plead my apology for sending you at present only a few particulars. The Act or Convention for the eva , citation of France is not yet signed, but the fol lowing statement may be relied upon t—The Al lied Troops are to leave France in the course of the present month, or early in the beginning of . next, at such intervals and - by such routes as may be afterwards determined to be most convenient for all parties. The Allied Powers arc perfectly satisfied with the present state of France, and the securities which she offers, in her internal condition, tot the preservation of the general tranquillity.— They ate likewise satisfied with the proposed guarantees for the payment of the contributions. These contributions are all to be discharged in the course of nine months from the signature of the • Treaty. The first instalment is to be 25 per cent. upon the whole sung; and the remainder is to be paid by equal instalments at the end of every two months. The first payment of 25 per cent, will take place on the 26th of December of the present year. The house of Baring and Co., supported by their friends of the other banking-houses of Europe, is the security. Mr. Baring was yester day called to a conference, and presented satis factory guarantees. The distribution of the stints to be contributed I have not yet been able mi nutely to ascertain, but the following.aref„tlie por tions allotted to the greater Powers llassia will receive 48 millions of francs. England 48 ditto Atisttia, about 40 ditto Prussia, Khout 40 ditto The Netherlands is ditto va r 10 ditto The remainder will be divided amonc the other States, in proportion to their magnitude, their sacrifices, or exertions in the common cause. The details only of the great measure now remain to be fixed ; and if the same frankness and good faith preside over the counsels of the Allied Mi nisters which have hitherto gulded theM, these cannot occupy a long time. Accordingly, the Duke of Richelieu expects tai be able to return to Paris by the 15th inst. The Emperor of ins sia and King of Prussia will proceed in the course of a fortnight from Ait-la-Chapelle, to review their troops at Manbetige and Sedan. The former has given up his intention of visiting Paris-till his army is on its way out of France. The Emperor of Austria returns about the same time (that is, the 15th inst.) to Vienna ; so that this assem bly of Monarchs, this representative Majesty of Europe, will have terminated in fifteen days a business which has engaged speculation and ex cited anxiety for three ve:as ; and will thus have sbown that the abouchements des Roil, with what ever jealousy they arc viewed, are useful, at l'east THE SUN.
